"Um."
Qiao Nian never did anything without evidence, so he simply pulled out a video for him, clicked play, and turned aside to let Shi Fu watch it himself: "This is the surveillance video of the camera in the laboratory elevator that Yu Qingliu and his team installed. I spent some time to find it. Everyone in this video appeared in the elevator... I specifically checked their names these two days."
Shi Fu indeed saw Liao Quan's face on the surveillance camera.
He took a deep breath, unable to hide his disappointment: "They... betrayed the institute just because the dean was hospitalized?"
Qiao Nian took off the USB drive and handed it to him without even moving his eyebrows. His face under the cap was delicate and eye-catching. While handing him the USB drive, he said indifferently: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places. They just want to get on the bandwagon of the hidden family! But since people have made a choice, they must be responsible for their choice. Since they want to follow the hidden family and Yu Qingliu, there is no reason for them to continue to stay in the First Research Institute..."
Shi Fu tightly grasped the USB drive, feeling a dull pain in his heart. He also understood what she meant. These people were now the rotten meat of the First Research Institute.
Even though he felt sad about the loss of talented people, he had to grit his teeth and eradicate all these malignant tumors in order to save the entire institute.
"I know what to do."
Qiao Nian gave Shi Fu the list of experimental projects that she had brought to the villa and asked her to review for Feng Yu, then took her things and left.

The next day.
Liao Quan and others just arrived at the check-in area and were about to punch in to enter the institute.
The magnetic card lights up red.
He frowned, not yet figuring out what was going on, and was asking the ordinary staff in charge of clocking in: "What's going on? Is the machine broken? Why didn't you find someone to fix it?"
In the First Research Institute, the status of a researcher like Liao Quan is very different from that of an ordinary employee. The staff was so frightened by his scolding that they didn't know what to do. They immediately stood up and said hurriedly, "Wait a moment, I'll call someone to check."
Liao Quan and several other people who encountered the same situation were stopped outside the institute, waiting impatiently for the "machine inspection".
At this time, Zhou Zhou arrived, clocked in, and saw several people standing outside. He dropped his chin and asked the staff, "What's wrong with them? Why don't they go in?"
The staff member looked reserved and whispered, "It seems that the clock-in machine is broken."
Liao Quan and the others were standing here being stared at by people passing by. They were already a little impatient and annoyed, and urged again: "Where are your repairmen? Why haven't they come yet... Should we go in... Aren't you wasting our time?"
"The machine is broken?" It was the first time Zhou Zhou heard such a statement. After all, this was the First Research Institute, and such a basic machine could not possibly break down.
She heard Liao Quan urging her again and was wondering.
Shi Fu brought people over.
When she saw Shi Fu, she put away the cynicism in her eyes and respectfully called out, "Vice Dean."
"Yeah." Shi Fu was quite familiar with her and nodded.
Then he walked past her and came in front of Liao Quan and others.
Liao Quan looked impatient at first, but when he saw Shi Fu coming out, he felt uneasy. He put his hands on his sides and stood close to his trouser seams, not daring to make eye contact with Shi Fu: "Hello, Vice President."
Shi Fu treated him more seriously, looking him up and down with a blank expression, and said directly: "Anyone who cannot come in by swiping a card will no longer need to come to the First Research Institute."
